In June 2018, the W.COM Company opened a free basic computer training at the Community Center of Information and Public Relations Central Department of Yamethin District. The class was banned a week before to complete on August 1, thus they organised a press conference at Amay Htwe Hall regarding the ban. The general administration department of Yamethin township sent an official letter to hall owners, on August 10, 2018, in which it is stated that the halls cannot host public events including religious events, meeting, literature events, brand promotions, music entertainments events, public discussion events and opening ceremonies of road and bridges without permission; and if they do not follow this regulation, they will be punished in accordance existing laws. Let alone political activities, the public cannot gather even for religious and social affairs, without getting permission from regional governments, and it is the same situation compared with conditions of military Junta, resulting in deformities to the democracy principles. 43 Chapter (5): Deterring, Restricting, Orders, Instructions and Free Speech
